A member asked:
I'm breastfeeding my 8 wk old and took 600mg aspirin per day 4 last 5 days. he's congested + sneezing occasionally. i am worried about reyes syndrome!

Unlikely: Reye syndrome is a rare complication to flu or chickenpox that is treated with aspirin or aspirin derived products. Less than 10% of maternal intake is transferred in the milk. Aspirin is considered a marginal but acceptable maternal drug during BF. Babies this age get congested/sneezy from inhaled irritants like dust/fragrance.
